MONTREAL -- World poker champion Jonathan Duhamel says he was tied up, beaten in the face and head and told he was going to be killed.

A day after a brutal home invasion, Duhamel has posted a statement on his website saying he feels lucky to be alive.

'Two men broke into my house and I was physically assaulted and robbed,' Duhamel wrote on his website. 'After being threatened with death and having given them everything I had, I was bound and hit repeatedly in the face and body before my attackers left.'

Duhamel said he's hurting all over but he didn't sustain any major injuries. He is upset, however, that the robbers took his World Series of Poker champion's bracelet.

Jonathan Duhamel is one of the rare examples of modern era WSOP Main Event champions who managed to stay successful and relevant after their massive win. The first Canadian world champion in the history of WSOP followed up his near $9,000,000 pay-day with great results in high roller tournaments like the one in Deauville in 2011 which he won earning $272,209.

Also stolen was a Rolex Submariner watch given to him by his sponsor PokerStars to mark his feat. Both items were engraved with his name and the date of his triumph.

'I won't deny that these two items have a value much larger than money to me, and I hope with all my heart that we will be able to recover them in the near future,' Duhamel wrote.

Police detectives on Montreal's south shore were meeting with Duhamel, 24, on Thursday to get more information about the attack a day earlier.

Duhamel became internationally known in 2010 when he won $8.9 million in a poker tournament in Las Vegas. The professional poker player became the first Canadian to win the Main Event at the World Series of Poker.

Longueuil police spokesman Constable Patrick Barriere said Thursday investigators are considering that Duhamel was targeted. Of the stolen cash, some was in Canadian currency while some of it consisted of euros, in the form of 500 euro notes.

Last January, Duhamel won the high-roller event at the European Poker Tour, taking home more than $270,000 and later won more than $40,000 at the World Series of Poker, bringing his total winnings so far to more than $9.5 million.

Becoming more passionate about poker playing, he decided to abandon his studies after only two semesters to play poker full time.

Following this success, Jonathan spent the next two years honing his skills and gathering experience by playing in casinos across Canada, steadily building up his net worth. Being promising player, he soon “caught the eye” of PokerStars who offered him sponsorship deal. The big breakthrough in Duhamel’s poker career occurred in 2010 when after a head-to-head game versus John Racer at the WSOP’s Main Event, he collected the staggering sum of $8,944,310, which of course dramatically increased the total of Duhamel’s wealth.

In 2011, Duhamel won EPT’s High Roller Event, walking away with $272,209, while in 2012 at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure events he collected almost $1.2 million. Then at London’s Premier League Poker VI event in 2013, his 3rd place won him $125,000. All these achievements helped Jonathan to significantly boost his net worth.

The year of 2015 was successful for Jonathan too, as in June he won the WSOP’s $111,111 No-Limit Hold’em for One Drop event, collecting $3,989,985, while in October he conquered WSOP’s Event 26 – No-Limit Hold’em High Roller event, winning $634,550 in prize money. Certainly all these successful ventures have had a huge impact on Jonathan Duhamel’s wealth.

However, being wealthy has its own drawbacks – in late 2011, Duhamel was a victim of a home invasion, robbery and beating as three masked man broke into his house, molested him and took away $150,000 in cash and his Rolex wristwatch. As it was later revealed, the mastermind behind this criminal act was Duhamel’s ex girlfriend Bianca Rojas-Latraverse, who was later taken into custody and imprisoned for 3.5 years; her “associates” faced the same destiny. The police had managed to recover about half of the stolen sum.

In his personal life, there is no current information about romantic liaisons of Jonathan Duhamel. He is an avid fan of the Montréal Canadiens hockey team, but a philanthropist too – after his success in 2010, he donated $100,000 to its Children’s Foundation.
